Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups,
Ricky Martin has split from his long-term boyfriend.
The "Livin' La Vida Loca" hitmaker - who has five-year-old twins, Matteo and Valentino, born via surrogate in August 2008 - and his partner Carlos Gonzalez have called time on their relationship after almost five years together.
A spokesperson for the 42-year-old star - who announced he was gay in 2010 after years of speculation - told People.com, "Ricky and Carlos have mutually agreed to end their relationship but continue to be united by friendship and their shared experiences."
A source close to the duo hinted in November that all was not well between them. "They've spent very little time together and have grown apart. They've been on the outs for a while now," the insider said.

Ricky Martin Wishes He Could Come Out Again
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,
Ricky Martin wishes he could come out as homosexual again.
The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer claims he was initially terrified at how his peers would react to the news - after keeping his sexuality a secret until he was 38 - but claims the experience was extremely liberating and he longs to relive it a second time.
"I was terrified. I had to really work on my self esteem to understand that it's all about self love, and other people's opinions weren't what was important. What WAS important was accepting myself exactly as I am, as I was born. I insist, it wasn't easy, but wow, I wish I could come out again because it felt like I could 'high five' God [sic]," he said, speaking during a Facebook chat with fans.
The 41-year-old singer also said he was a keen supporter of Miley Cyrus and suggested the star's wild antics are a reflection of her growing up in the music industry: "I LOVE MILEY! #TEAMMILEY all the way. She's a young woman living the moment with music...i wish her nothing but the best [sic]."
